Representations on behalf of the people of Tuosist regarding the need for the establishment of an industry in that area have been brought to my notice. As the Deputy is aware, the Government have provided valuable facilities and incentives to encourage the establishment and development of industries. It is for private enterprise to take advantage of these facilities and local interests should do their best to encourage private enterprise to set up industry in the area. The Deputy may take it that any sound proposal that may be formulated by local or other interests for the establishment of industry in the Tuosist area will be afforded all the assistance within my power.
